I'm a painter, turned illustrator, turned designer from Seattle that now makes a living as a senior creative director in middle of the desert in Phoenix, Arizona. Life is strange to say the least. A few years ago I returned to painting, through traded my Winsor brushes and Golden Acrylics for Poser, Vue, and Photoshop, and have since resumed doing commercial illustration for a select clientele. I mainly work in 3D, but almost everything I do is overpainted until my wrist hurts as I just can't roll with squeaky clean stuff - it's not in my nature.
Recently my work has appeared in Ballistic Publishing's EXPOSÉ, was added to Steve Wozniak's personal art collection, been featured at MacWorld San Francisco and can soon be seen on limited edition tee's at Barney's New York and Fred Segal Los Angeles.
I'm married with three cats and can't seem to have less than ten Mac's in the house at any given time... you never know, I may need that bondi blue iMac for something one day ;)

Excellent use of lighting, and the use of colorful sets that still give a "drab" and used look. Most people default to lots of gray to do the same thing. Good work!

glorious work, the water ripples is an excelelnt touch to an already richly detailed image.

Gorgeous work as always, superb detail and like Whatthe I think the ripples are a nice touch here, though I'd think twice about swimming there given how close it is to the Algae feed pipe...

Looking at how murky those buildings look, you'd think twice about getting in the water !! Love those textures.

The ripples are a very nice touch and I do like those textures. I'll have to investigate them I think
